I wish I had the patience to sit down and read like that, I *always* glaze over and fall asleep in the end.

Cheers you guys.

I’ve been playing catch up with your blog as I still only have the net at work (and the buggers have blocked facebook) and I’ve really missed the adventures of you and Adam. I’m trying to get everything installed but we british like to fuck about and do things at a snails pace (not me, I drink waaaay to much Relentless and Redbull. I practically fly around)

Anyway, I hope to online soon.

Your friends over the pond

Chris and Kylie

HOLY CRAP, I’ve wanted to read “A Long Way Gone” but I just can’t bring myself to do it. I find, as I get older, i just can’t let go of the sadness and guilt I feel when I read stories like this. I just can’t let it go, I cry, I think about it constantly then I feel guilty that I can’t do more about situations in these countries. UUGGHH, it just makes me too sad. I don’t know if I can read this book.

THEN, A thousand splendid suns…I read Kite Runner, and of course loved it, but I don’t think I can deal with another version of that book. I just don’t feel like being that sad. I’m sticking with mostly fiction these days, except I am now reading “the Loved Dog” and so far so good, but i can’t get into the deep stuff right now. My brain and my heart won’t let me :O)

don’t be hatin’ on Christopher Pike!! I think I read every single one of his books when I was in 5th grade, and “Remember Me” changed the way I thought about death.
I moved from Christopher Pike to all of Stephen King though, and have never really been able to get into true crime stuff. I think, like you said, its just too close to home.
